Interesting Finds

I was out and about today doing some shopping with my wife and son. On the way home, we saw an estate sale a couple of blocks away. We decided to stop and take a look. Glad we did. My son found a really nice poker table for his basement. Good price too. He got it for $30.

Now for my finds. The lady that owned the house was 94 years old when she passed away a few months ago. Her nieces were running the estate sale, and they told me their aunt had worked for a local liquor distributor. I purchased a set of six Kentucky Tavern glasses, a set of five Yellowstone glasses, and a really cool "Old Croak" antique standup ashtray. My haul cost me $20. The Kentucky Tavern glasses were still in the original box. The stamps on the box were from 1967 and 1968. I assume the Yellowstone glasses were probably from that era too.

Wow, Joe. Very cool! And you can't beat the price you paid for all the stuff. I plan to hit lots of estate sales this summer and hope to find a few treasures along the way.
